This makes the airline the only Asian carrier to offer nonstop service to two major Texan cities.

The new Taipei Washington flight connection will help optimize travel costs for passengers by providing direct access to one of the most important international hubs.

President Clay Sun emphasizes the strategic importance of these markets: “North America has long been an important market for us. The addition of Washington, D.C. to our route network gives us access to one of the most influential centers in the U.S. It is home to many global companies and government institutions that have a high demand for attractive air connections.”

• The Taipei Washington air link is another step into the future, further strengthening connections between Asia and North America.

This expansion of the route network not only allows passengers to travel efficiently between two major continental cities, but also facilitates connections to other flights within the United States and beyond. EVA Air’s network of ten North American airports ensures optimized mobility and diverse transfer options.

The opening of the Taipei Washington flight connection not only expands EVA AIR’s network, but also strengthens connections to important economic centers in North America.

Modern amenities and comfort on the Taipei-Washington route

For EVA AIR, the Taipei Washington flight connection is not only an economic decision, but also a matter of customer focus.

The aircraft used on the new route are among the most modern in their class and are Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. This model is not only known for its improved fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness, but also offers a high standard of comfort in all travel classes.

The cabin is divided into three classes: Royal Laurel Class, Economy Class, and the recently introduced fourth-generation Premium Economy Class. This new Premium Economy class stands out from conventional Economy seats with the industry’s largest seat pitch of 1.07 meters. The design elevates the onboard products to a near-business-class level, offering an enhanced travel experience for passengers who value comfort and space without having to upgrade to the next higher class.

Flights depart from Taipei on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. local time. Return flights depart from Washington, D.C., on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, thus ensuring flexible travel times for both business and leisure travelers.

Integrated flight offerings in North America and collaborations

The expansion to include the Taipei-Washington route also represents a strategic strengthening of EVA Air’s network in North America. In addition to the Taipei-Washington route, EVA Air will continue to offer innovative services to enhance passenger comfort.

The range of travel destinations is further expanded through close collaborations with renowned airlines. Within the Star Alliance, to which EVA Air belongs, partnerships are maintained with Air Canada, United Airlines, Avianca, and Copa Airlines. Furthermore, close business relationships exist with other airlines such as Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, Hawaiian Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and WestJet. These extended alliances enable passengers to enjoy seamless transfers and access to over 200 destinations throughout the Americas.

The new Taipei-Washington route opens up numerous opportunities for travelers who wish to visit the capital of the United States for both business and leisure. This connection further promotes air travel between Taiwan and the USA. With the Taipei-Washington route, EVA Air will be able to meet the growing demands of the market. These extensive connections not only strengthen the tourist offerings but also provide business travelers with an attractive basis for travel planning and meeting deadlines.

Conclusion: More flexibility, more efficient travel routes

The introduction of the new direct flight connection between Taipei and Washington, D.C., marks a significant step for EVA Air in the long-term strengthening of its North American route network. The expansion to ten airports with a total of 98 weekly flights makes the privately owned Taiwanese airline a key player in the transpacific market.
